Nepal’s many options for mountain trekking means there’s an excursion to suit every taste. If you’re a sucker for creature comforts, you can not only hike to the base camp at the spectacular Mount Ama Dablam, but each night of your trek you’ll stay in lodges with all mod-cons and en suite bathrooms. For a diverse amount of memorable views, trek to the Gokyo Lakes, which is in the Everest region but secluded enough that it sees fewer crowds. And if you do want to get as close to Everest as possible without actually summiting it, then hike up to Everest Base Camp (17,600 feet/5,380 meters) and sip tea in Namche Bazaar.
